Mary & Martha is a St. Martin de Porres Women's Faith Sharing Ministry. In Luke 10:38-42, we recognize the need to be more like Mary…to sit at the feet of Jesus, well, to sit anywhere and be still and listen! We also strive to get everything done like Martha and know that as moms, wives, employees, and with the numerous hats we wear, it is necessary to do both. The timing of what to do when is what is important. We want to learn to live in the “and” and be both Mary & Martha depending on what is needed. Jesus’s words to Martha point this out, “Mary has chosen the better part.” At that moment, she was where she needed to be. Participation in the group is open to all women in the Parish who have a desire to grow in their faith in a safe, confidential environment. Mary & Martha strives to build St. Martin’s faith community by allowing women to meet in different kinds of spiritual programs, events and activities throughout the year. Women choose to participate in one or all of the Mary & Martha events by registering for each individual event according to their interests. Although none of the programs, events or activities are targeted as social gatherings, each one offers time for fellowship, sharing and comradery. Once registered for any event, each woman will receive emails and Facebook notices of upcoming events. For more information email Mary Pomeroy at maryandmartha.stmdp@gmail.com or visit the blog http://maryandmarthasmdp.blogspot.com Our Facebook Page, Mary & Martha, is a closed one (to protect confidentiality) and is not accessible without an invitation. If you would like to added to the FB group, mention that in your email and you will be given instructions on how to be included.
